Is the Faraday in the future who is basically crazy and sees the crashed plane on the news the future version of the Faraday who stepped off the submarine?
By that, I mean to say that I think Daniel Faraday is trapped in a time loop. How else would he know that Des was his constant? Sure, he met Desmond back in his lab with the time-traveling mouse, but how would he have known then that Desmond would be on the island? Or that when the island went back in time, he could find Desmond on the island, and where?
Future Daniel is Daniel. He is in a time loop and is all crazy in the future because of all the events he’s set in motion. He’s found, though, that he can’t prevent any of these events from happening and just tries to mitigate it every time.
I think that Daniel knew damn well that he’d told Charlotte never to come back to the island. I think that he tries a different tack each time he’s there. I think he tries to save Charlotte, but is never able to, and he doesn’t even try to escape the time loop until he finds a way to save her.
